Oprah Yesterday ...

Oprah's program yesterday focused on Autism or better said parents with children who have autism. My sister is an autistic therapist and has taught these children how to "mand" - we would call this talking. I currently work with a higher functioning autistic child. I have much to say on this subject... back in the archives I reference the book ..the AD/HD-AUTISM Connection, Author Diane Kennedy. I was so happy for the parents that they have now gotten a voice. This same voice is much needed for those with AD/HD as well but I would guess it would be harder for reason I do not have time to go into today. I will touch on a subject in the next few days regarding TBI (Temporary Brain Injury) and (depending on where in the brain) it's connection to AD/HD. I told my sister this week about this subject and asked her if she saw now as to why I was SO grieved by the reality of having AD/HD my whole life-not knowing what monster I had fought and lost to all these years. Besides it is an "invisible disorder" a quote here form Psychotherapist Sari Solden who was diagnosed mid-life just like myself. I have a passion for every medical condition I mentioned here today ... a passion to change the world as I know it. I can only pray that God give me the voice. I see "Doctor Future" today ... last appointment I told him we needed to get some things changed with the AD/HD arena in the medical community. :) I would love to see life coach's, one time a week-in home, paid by insurance for those diagnosed with AD/HD. He said we would HAVE TO PROVE the need or something close to that (I'm not quoting him here). Today I will bring up as to how we can start this process or nay for that matter to raise awareness regarding the pain AD/HD causes. I'm waiting for that someone who will team up with me ... In the mean (and it is mean time) many suffer knowingly and un-knowingly.

So Thankful for all the beautiful minds ~
